Cisco Umbrella Enterprise Terms of Service
These Terms of Service is a legal agreement (the “Agreement”) between you, the party using any of the Domain Name System (DNS) related on-line services (each, a “Service”), and Cisco OpenDNS LLC, a Delaware corporation having offices at 135 Bluxome St., San Francisco, CA 94107 or its applicable affiliate entity providing the Service (hereinafter “OpenDNS”, “we”, “our” or “us”).
1. Acceptance of Terms BY CLICKING ON THE “AGREE” OR “ACCEPT” BUTTON, DOWNLOADING APPLICABLE SOFTWARE OR USING THE SERVICE IN ANY MANNER YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT UNDERSTAND THEM AND AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THEM. If you do not agree with the terms of this Agreement, you may not use or otherwise access the Service. If you are an individual accepting this Agreement on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind the applicable entity to this Agreement; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of the entity that you represent, to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not have the legal authority to bind the entity your represent, you may not use the Service. From time to time, OpenDNS may update the functionality and user interface of the Service, add new features to the Service, change the access configuration for the Service or update the related software. In such event, this Agreement shall also apply to any such functionality updates, new features, changes or software updates subsequently provided by OpenDNS for the Service or related software, as applicable.
2. Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may be changed, modified, supplemented or updated by OpenDNS from time to time. Any updates to, or replacements of, this Agreement will be in effect for any new or renewal Service orders placed after the effective date of the updated or replaced Agreement. If OpenDNS makes a material change to this Agreement that will affect an existing Service subscription, OpenDNS may notify you by sending an email at least thirty (30) days in advance of such change or posting a notice on your account administration page. If the change has a material adverse impact on you and you do not agree to the change, you must so notify OpenDNS via contact@opendns.com within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the change. If you notify OpenDNS as required, then you will remain governed by the Agreement in effect immediately prior to the change until the end of your current subscription term for the affected Service. If the affected Service is renewed, it will be renewed under OpenDNS’s then-current Agreement.
3. Account Management/Passwords. To purchase, use or access certain Services, you must have a valid OpenDNS account. You will be prompted in the offering user interface, by our website or contacted by email to either create an account or to login using your account credentials. If you have been given the option to open an account within the Service(s) that will provide you with access to password protected portions of the Service(s) and you elect to do so, then you must complete the registration process by providing us with current, complete and accurate information as prompted by the applicable registration form, and choose a password and user name. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account-related information and for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify OpenDNS upon learning of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security related to your use of the Service.
4. Services and License Grants. a. Types of Services. OpenDNS offers Services for purchase or some Services for free through a free trial option (“Free Trial”). Services can be obtained through an OpenDNS sales representative (“OpenDNS Sales”) or through an authorized channel partner (“Partner”). If you want to learn more about purchasing the Services through OpenDNS Sales or a Partner, please contact us by email at salesinfo@opendns.com. b. License Grant. If you purchased a Service or enrolled in a Free Trial, OpenDNS grants to you, and you accept, the non-assignable, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, and nonexclusive right to access and use the applicable Service only as authorized in these Terms of Service and related documentation for (i) the duration of the applicable subscription term or Free Trial period, as applicable; (ii) for the number of licenses purchased; and (iii) only for that number of customer seat(s) (each a, “Seat”), site(s) (each a, “Site”) and/or customer access points (“AP(s)”), as applicable. Additional rights and restrictions, if any, may apply to Services ordered via a written order form provided by OpenDNS Sales (“Order Form”), and in such cases, the terms of the Order Form and/or supporting agreements will govern where conflicts exist between these Terms of Service and the Order Form or supporting agreements. c. Software License. You may need to download and install software to use the Service (the “Software”). If so, you are granted a limited, non-assignable, nontransferable, non-sublicensable and non-exclusive right to use the Software solely to the extent required to use the Service and only for the term that you are entitled to use the Service. In your use of the Software, you may be granted access to certain open source code third party software that is provided for free for use in combination with the Software. Such third party products are being made available to you pursuant to their respective third party agreements. A listing of these third party products (if any) may be available in the documentation. You may obtain the source code to such open source code software in accordance with the directions set forth in the documentation. d. Partner NFR Subscriptions. OpenDNS may offer not-for-resale (“NFR”) subscriptions to authorized OpenDNS Partners. If you are an authorized OpenDNS Partner and you received an NFR subscription from OpenDNS, you are subject to the license grant and restrictions set forth in Sections 4 and 9. The subscription term will be as set forth in a click-to-accept agreement or other terms and conditions provided by OpenDNS and executed by the authorized OpenDNS Partner
5. Ownership. You recognize and agree that each Service and the Software contain valuable assets, proprietary information and intellectual property of OpenDNS and its licensors, and are made available to you under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. OpenDNS (and its licensors) retain all right, title, and interest in the Service and Software, including any and all intellectual property rights. OpenDNS (and its licensors) reserves all rights not expressly granted in Section 4.
6. Payment and Renewal Terms. a. Payment Terms. Excluding usage of the Service during a Free Trial, you will pay OpenDNS the applicable fee(s) for use of the Service. All fees shall be due and payable upon the commencement of the subscription term and on the first day of each renewal subscription term. All amounts owed hereunder are non-refundable and payable in U.S. Dollars (unless otherwise specified) and are based on the Service(s) purchased and not on actual usage. You agree to pay OpenDNS such fees net thirty (30) days from the date of OpenDNS’s invoice. The prices do not include any taxes; you shall pay any applicable sales, use, excise, withholding or other taxes applicable to the sale or furnishing of the Services or related software (if any). Delinquent payments shall bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half (1.5%) per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by OpenDNS in collecting unpaid or delinquent amounts. OpenDNS reserves the right to suspend the Services (of which it shall provide advance notice, which may be by email) until you pay all past due amounts. If you purchase a license to use the Services from an authorized reseller, then you shall be responsible for paying such authorized reseller all applicable fees. b. Credit Card Payment. For Services that are purchased by credit card, you expressly agree that OpenDNS is permitted to invoice and charge your credit card or accepted payment account the applicable fees, applicable taxes and any other charges that you may incur with OpenDNS in connection with your use of such Service. Such fees, taxes and related charges will be billed to the credit card or accepted payment account that you provide at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. You agree to allow OpenDNS, or our affiliates or services providers, to process and store your payment information. If payment is not received or cannot be charged to your credit card or accepted payment account for any reason in advance of the applicable subscription term, OpenDNS reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your access to the Service, and at OpenDNS’s sole discretion, terminate this Agreement. c. Renewal Terms. Unless stated otherwise on an applicable Order Form, your subscription to the applicable Service will automatically renew for additional, successive subscription terms equal in duration to the expiring subscription term or one (1) year (whichever is longer) at OpenDNS’s then-current price for the Services, unless terminated by either party upon sixty (60) days written notice of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the then-current subscription term. Subscriptions are non-cancelable before the end of the then-current subscription term and fees are non-refundable. If you originally paid by credit card, then you acknowledge and agree that OpenDNS will automatically charge your credit card or accepted payment account on record with OpenDNS for the then-current subscription term upon the commencement of any renewal period.
7. Service Termination and Suspension. a. Termination. If you commit a breach of any provision of this Agreement which is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice from OpenDNS, then OpenDNS may terminate your access to all or any part of a Service and terminate this Agreement. b. Termination of a Free Trial. You may terminate a Free Trial by simply discontinuing your use of the Service and/or requesting that OpenDNS terminate your account if you have created an OpenDNS account. OpenDNS may terminate your access to all or any part of a Free Trial at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice and without any further liability to you. c. Suspension. OpenDNS also reserves the right to suspend any Service as it may deem appropriate in response to actual or suspected violations of this Agreement if OpenDNS reasonably concludes that your Service is being used to engage in illegal activity, used outside the scope of the license (e.g. used on more than the number of licenses, Site(s), or AP(s) purchased) or causing immediate, material and ongoing harm to OpenDNS or others. You agree that OpenDNS shall not be liable to you nor to any third party for any suspension of a Service under such circumstances as described in this Section. d. Survival. Sections 1, 5, and 8-14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
8. User Data. The Software together with the Service may collect certain data and information about your use and, if you are an entity, your individual users’ use of the Service including but not limited to statistical information related to the usage, traffic patterns and behavior of the users of the Services that OpenDNS learns in evaluating your use of the Service (collectively, “User Data”). Any personally identifiable information contained in User Data provided to OpenDNS will be treated as set forth in the Cisco Online Privacy Statement, currently located at: http://www.cisco.com/web/siteassets/legal/privacy_full.html.
